LG OLED B8 + Arc owners

As the title says … has anyone had any luck getting Dolby Atmos Digital plus working? I assume that even with Atmos DD+ You would get the Atmos symbol on the TV screen in the S2 app? I have yet to see that symbol in the S2 app.

my set up..

OLED B8 [this does not have eARC]
apple TV 4K plugged in to HDMI ARC

att uverse plugged into HDMI

sonos arc plugged into optical

from what I have read in general (not B8 specific) optical can only do 5.1 and hdmi ARC can do DD+. I have tried the sonos arc in both, but the optical seems to sound better. And even in the settings you have the option for Dolby Atmos when output to internal+optical.

I have tried downloading the Atmos video samples from Dolby website, putting on USB… although they sound good, still no Dolby Atmos indication on the app..

I believe this is a TV limitation, but wondering if any success from other B8 owners?

thanks

Hi - Thanks for starting this thread. Just to be clear, you have an Apple TV 4K + Sonos Arc connected to your B8 OLED TV and you are able to stream 4K from Apple TV with Dolby support?

I have the same setup too (or will be pretty soon once I get my Sonos Arc in a week). I currently have the Apple TV 4K connected to the HDMI ARC port on my LG OLED55B8P (v05.20.01) and once I receive my Sonos ARC, I am planning to do the following

Sonos Arc → LG B8 HDMI Arc
Apple TV 4K → LG B8 Regular HDMI

Wondering if this is sufficient to get 4K output from Apple TV with Dolby support? Shouldn’t Apple TV 4K be connected to ARC in order to receive 4k output?

Yes, with my OLED B8 I have successfully been getting DA (Dolby Digital +) with ATV4K and using Netflix via Apple TV. However in its current form I get an uncorrectable lip sync problem. Since the latest TV firmware added Apple TV in the built in apps, I can get DA DD+ that way too. The built in apps do not have lip sync issues.

I have ordered the Arcana and will be here Wednesday. This should fix my lip sync problem with ATV4K.

note.. here is a pic of my current settings:

Also a quick note about the new Apple TV app built into the LG OLED B8. You can mess with this now. For some reason, it seemed the first time playing something in the Apple TV app, the aspect ratio is off, so the screen doesn’t look right. It seems if you get out of it and back in it, it displays normally. So since it is new to the TV firmware, it is a little buggy. I don’t use it for this reason.

With regards to your settings - I have the AV Sync adjustment turned on and set to “bypass”. That resolved any lip sync problems I had.

Thanks. It seems like I tried that and didn’t help. However, there has been some updates since then, so it is worth a revisit. Appreciate it

Nope, bypass unfortunately still does not help with the lip sync for the ATV4K through the TV. Appreciate the input and feedback.

Did you add delay in the Sonos app? My understanding of the bypass setting is that it delays the video so you can adjust your sound delay at the source to achieve sync. I’m at +2 or +3.
